there’s no shorcut in rendering, quality vs speed in video rendering is a very big topic. most people use something like quicktime h.264 or photo JPEG
I really don’t understand why you wanna have your whole video in GIF format??

with just experimenting and playing with the settings. I used to say exact same thing when I just started ^^. first I was familiar with only some settings like the emitter position and velocity, then the particles color,size,opacity.. more experiments = more knowledge

When for first time i saw this template i was totally out of my mind and i was thinking that to create this type of project is hard as hell but when i saw the tut i slapped myself …. look at this it is as easy like u r making an ordinary AAE project at beginner level … i tried videocopilot but that guy is out of this world thats y i never got what he is trying to say … Thnx oum for that much simpls tut …

I used the template you provided and went to edit the colors and they dont change on the main comp. Im trying to use just the first 2 text animations with a black and gold color color scheme. I Would start from scratch with the tutotial but i am not good with cameras

yeah that’s how you change the color of the particles, and if you wanna change the color of the text simply go inside the composition of the text and double click that text layer and then choose the color you want from the text options, or just apply a “fill” effect to the text and choose your color
to change the background color, select it and go to the layer > solid settings, then choose the color you want, or simply add in a fill effect
the fill effect works for any layer

Yeah I made the txt work. I still get the message when I load the template though. That was the easy bit.

Again thanks for an excellent tutorial. Easily one of the best around.

After days of playing around with the camera stuff and still cant make it work like did. And it appears no one on you tube had the inclination to do a tutorial either. I figured out how to do the camera movements on x,y and z – well more or less.

The thing that is so cool about your template is the way you have made the text/camera work in multiple angles and dimension and appears that you havent made more than one back ground.

I woud really appreciate a tutorial on how you do this. And I’d even appreciate via PayPal…=)

Omg so helpfull!!! thank you very much dude u are awseome! could u put something like previous and next video buttons on youtube so we can easily follow you and not searching them (i know im a little bit lazy )

Hi again

Could you do a step by step tutorial for the part where the camera pans from text 1 –> text 2 –> text 3. I really like the parts where the shift downwards=)

Now I have seen, the color can change all the time until you put the” point” to”” Light’s.

Hi,
And thank you for sharing your experties for us beginners Really cool affect and Im working on a racetrack movie and I would like to have your intro as startup.
I have one problem that I cant get rid of. When I´ve rendered and make it as a video there is a big X over the screen. I found that it was the particular layer that makes this X. When I turn this layer off there are no X. Ive tried to check all features on this layer for hours but I cant find the problem. I thought it was like guidelines that maked this big X over the screen, but Im not shure about this…
I would really appreciate your help. If you dont know what I mean, I can take a snapshot an email you the X-picture so you see what I mean.

Really need help with getting the bagourkcnd color sample. I’m using cs4 and it’s different. It does not give you the value of the color selected. What should I do? I want to write the value in notepad++. Please help

hey, i got a hey, i got a questin after im done with mainkg the template why does the background become white? and the text background basicly deletes? it happened to you at 3:03, but idk how you fixed it. Please reply with help ! Was this answer helpful?

m8 ty a lot for your videos they are very heufpll at least for me. i have 1 question though. Why do you slice the navigation bar separate and the buttons ? I have seen other videos on youtube where they slice the navigation bar buttons together with the bar.

Hi
In Time of 5’23″ this video you change the particle color from white to black and black dots shows on.
I do this change but nothing happens. I tried several time from beginning but I cant see the black dots on my project

Hey, great job, but i have a question. I want the effect for the first text for more text.
Example: First text—animation one, second text—-same animation—–thirt text—same animation.
I testet with copy and paste, to duplicate and what ever, but if i do this the second text is the same like first text, but i want a antother text between 2 and 1 text.

I don’t understand what you are trying to do exactly, but if you want the camera to travel and move to an other text, you gonna have to animate the camera to an other position, so as the light emitter, and then duplicate the text and it’s revealed and place them to that position too.
if you want to just have the effect restarts 3 times, you gonna have to duplicate the composition and place them in a new composition and change the text in each composition.

I want to make a movie for my fathers 60th b-day and your template is perfekt for a movie intro.
The first text is: “Tom´s movie present” with the animation for the first text….This is not the problem to change the text.

The second text is: “Directed by: Tom Tom” but with the anim from the first text and not from the second text(the first text fly out, the second flip to right). i want not 3 textes inside, i want 18 textes.

And now the question: How is it possible to do this in diffrent textes.

once you succeed doing a second one, you will do the same thing even for 100 texts ^^. well as I said if you wanna continue with the same scene, and just move into an other text, move the light emitter and the camera, then add a text to the new position. if you just wanna repeat the first effect. all you need to do is to create a new composition and throw 2 copies of the composition that contains the effect and change the text for the second copy

I downloaded the template and id like to know how can i increase the number of text by adding 3 more Text is it possible by just addind them to the comp or i have to change the camera and other stuff ? thanks

Friend, when I open the template in the second after effects cs6 the message, this project contains 1 reference to a missing effect. Please install The Following effect to restore this reference. (particular). Most already have Trapcode 2 installed, and also asked; The Following layer dependencies are missing: Text Layer: font family: “Organicon” Font style: “Bol”. How do I fix this?
thank you

Just had one question. The ‘text 3′ appears to be slanted. Is there any way to fix it so that the 1st,2nd & the 3rd text are aligned? Tried everything but couldn’t change the slanting style of 3rd text.

can any one help me please ,the adobe dosnt write Arabic lang what can i do??? and the version is c5 but when i used the temple in this tutorial it show there are a missing in “particular” and thx for u

Tnx for your template. When I open it there everything is fine but there are a black cross in the composition from one corner to another. Even when I render it it didn’t go! it was still in the vid. I use AE CS6. What to do. Please suggest!
